Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 890 Duke R 2023
The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
KTM 125 Duke 2018
Even in its second generation, the KTM 125 Duke is still the highest-quality overall package in the 125cc naked bike class. Its looks stand out and its equipment is similar to that of larger and significantly more expensive KTM models. As is typical for KTM, the handling comes from the supermoto league, which makes the 125 Duke a real fun machine in tight corners. However, the Orange from Mattighofen should not relax too long on their laurels, because the competition is strong and is already beginning to overtake the ever-popular KTM 125 Duke in some aspects.
